I've found it!

[Bee]

Yep I've found it. An answer to stress that is!

After a week of emotional turmoil. Having my house burgled on Saturday afternoon. Not only did they take anything they wanted they also had fun throwing food into the carpet, furniture and walls and smashing anything they didn't want to take.
I was then confronted by a big fat policewoman who told me "crying won't fix it". Great big fat insensitive moll!
Next came a shouting match with the insurance company over payout. Then to top everything off I discover that someone I thought was a trusted friend and confidant turns out to be a fraud and a liar.
But at 9:30 this morning I landed in Hobart at the time it was pouring with rain. The rain has now cleared(in more ways than one) and I am sitting here with a lap top on my knee, a bottle of champagne at my side and looking out at the most wonderful view of ocean and beach. I am in seventh heaven. As if by magic the stress and the crap of the past week has disappeared.

So bugger it! I am staying here. Why would I want to go back to thieves, cheats & liars? Well, there is one reason why I should go back, but that reason can come to me.

My recommendation to anyone who is suffering stress and crap at the moment - book a ticket to Hobart & take the hours flight down. Trust me nothing works better.

Dear Bee,

As a 'good' social democrat you should show compassion by forgiving that 'poor, misunderstood' burglar and blaming 'society' for driving him to commit such a crime.

As a conservative I have a simpler, more effective view. Make the b@stard responsible for his own actions, and blow his brains out with a 12-gauge for invading your home and property.

There is time for you yet. Just learn to think with your brain (that's what it's for!) instead of your heart and you'll be more than half way towards becoming a conservative.

Just like me.

Bubble wrap is the go. Cheaper and all.

Yep I'll forgive the bast@rd alright. As long as I can belt him or them around the head with a cricket bat first.

Good for you Bee!

I sort of know how you feel when two years ago my sister's car was stolen and totally trashed, I'm talking roof kicked in, all windows and headlights smashed, all the side panels severely dented, motor blown up, tyres completely bald etc etc.

The car was a complete write off anyway the scumbags were caught and giving a slap on the wrist with a feather(seven months in a youth correction centre or something like that). However when they got out my older brother and sisters boyfriend were ready and belted nine different colours out of them, funnily one of them started crying and begging not to be beat up and said he would pay some money back but he shot through to Adelaide the next day and hasn't been back.

It was good to see the cowards get what they deserved, it was one way of dealing with it I guess.

So was the moral of the story to go to Hobart...or drink Champagne?

Having lived in Hobart for 10 years of my life I am fully aware of its beauty, but it is (to put it nicely) a little too sleepy.

Plus, I don't want to see the Glenorchy Magpies play, when I can see the real deal up here! That in itself would cause me unbearable stress.

I am actually at Seven Mile Beach, Fig. Now you can understand how relaxed I am.

What I don't understand is why they have to trash everything. Why did they have to rip up photographs and smach stuff and cause a mess? If they wanted to take stuff then do it, but why wreck everything? That's what I can't understand.

Pity its not winter time Bee

You could mosey on over to Bellerive and watch mighty Clarence destroy all comers - again.

That would make your rehabilitation complete hey ?

sorry to hear about that mate - I hope at least the Insurance Company comes to the party, but nothing can replace all the personal items you've lost or just the feeling of personal violatiion that comes when somebody has broken into your house.

Will you want to ever go back there and pick up the pieces ?

I know its hard, but sometimes when you fall off a horse, you have to get straight back into the saddle again ...

cheers

HaHa Bee I think you have found the answer!! Well at least I agree with the Champagne part - GREAT stress reliver...........(seriously tho my dad reckons champagne does nothing but get you giddy and make you laugh, and the laughter is what cures you - but hey he is a male - what would he know!!)

As for the Hobart part..............never been there..........can't see myself going soon...........but anywhere that is less hot and humid than this joint at the moment would be a great stress reliever I reckon!!!! Hope things get better for you?

p.s. - if anyone can think of a great sob story to get the airconditioning intsallation man here earlier than another 17 days - please feel free to add it - anything is worth a try at the moment - other wise I might resort to sitting infront of the still-in-it's-box-airconditioner downstairs pretending the bloody thing is already installed and turned on!

Just like me.

Are you referring to the burglar or the insurance assessor?

 

[Sydneyfan]

Sorry to hear about the break-in, Bee

It's rotten that they decided to add insult to injury by going round your place and trashing stuff.

Good to hear that you're relieving in your stress in a productive manner, ie. alcohol!

 

[Blues_Brat]

I never understood the mentality of people like that, OK if you wanna steal stuff, just take the video and go. Why the trashing? It's totally f***ed.

Sorry to hear about it Bee, chin up, things will improve.

I once had my place burgled by someone I know. I know that it was a 'friend' because as soon as I was on holidays they broke in and took what they wanted and knew where to look without trashing things.
